askuentin Tarantino wrote this book for a movie. So? So far, this is true of his nine films, and he has also written scripts for several other directors. But these are scripts-if you want to believe in the ability of the American Film Academy, Tarantino’s real field, because he won two of his Oscars as a writer (“Pulp Fiction” and “Freed Jiang Ge” ). But in the United States a month ago, not long after, the first novel of the filmmaker born in 1963 was published in German. This late literary debut is called “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” just like his recent film work. But this is not what people usually expect from a “book about movies.” That’s the same.
Because this genre is generally despised, but the film adaptation of the book has aroused great expectations (because there are more audiences in cinemas or in front of the screen). The adaptation of canvas as printed text may also be profitable, but from a qualitative point of view, it is difficult to tolerate. Ambitious authors will not rank this field because their understanding of literary activity includes the aura of primitive genius. Ambitious readers have the same expectations. Therefore, in the case of “movie books”, the benefits are incentives, not benefits.
More intense than in the movie
However, for Tarantino, both are important. After he achieved the best box office result of his career with “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and announced that he would resign from the directorship within a period of time after the next film, the American book company HarperCollins signed a contract with him for two books-as A lot of free time choices in film life after Tarantino. But for the first work, they want to take advantage of the new box office success. But who would expect to hear the story of the exhausted cowboy actor Rick Dalton and his former stuntman and now the “know-all” Cliff Booth, he will be disappointed.
And fruitful, because Tarantino has not only cinematic skills but also literary skills. This also includes an understanding of the laws of the corresponding art form. For example, the butcher’s scene shapes the director’s film and cannot be described as effectively as it can be filmed. At the same time, printed descriptions allow greater intensity, such as gender-related content, and film producers must take into account the age rating standards in the film, so they cannot be shown. Correspondingly, in the book “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”, after the young kitten gets in Cliff Booth’s car, he is much more exposed than the movie of the same name-and the girl in the book is much younger and is forbidden. Young even.
